New lens!!

I did it. I took the plunge and brought a new lens. A very expensive lens… With Darrell’s support of course – he truly is the best and I’m one very lucky lady! 

When debating what I wanted there were a number of factors that played into my decision but something that I knew from the start was that I wanted to purchase the best that I could. Most likely meaning an L series. Why? Because I’ve purchased things in the past that weren’t the best with the intention of upgrading and in the end I ended up spending more than if I had got what I wanted from the start. Plus, lenses don’t depreciate like say, your camera body. 

I spent the weekend photographing everything I could and I’m not 100% sure what I think yet. The lens I got, 24-70mm 2.8f, is really heavy, 2.09 lbs, and doesn’t have IS. Some of my images weren’t sharp when I think they should’ve been. I’m hoping that it’s because of the weight of the lens and after I get used to it most of the photos I take with it will have no signs of camera shake.

These are some images from Dallas Road that I think turned out ok:
